- —Thanos
Thanos (born Dione) is a supervillain from Marvel Comics. He appeared in the 103rd episode and Season 5 Finale of Death Battle, Thanos VS Darkseid, where he fought against Darkseid from DC Comics.
History
Thanos was born into the godlike race known as the Eternals on the moon of Titan, and although he was born deformed and hideous, only his mother seemed to deem him a monster. He grew up a prodigy with great potential, but could not seem to find what truly called him. That all changed the day Thanos fell in love with a girl, who turned out to be the physical embodiment of Death itself. Regardless, he was desperate to garner her eternal love, which led to him slaughtering his own people, becoming known among the galactic communities as "The Mad Titan".
Motivated by his ambition and obsession for Death, Thanos became a cosmic warlord, enhancing his abilities through bionic and mystical means, all while attempting to ravage the universe time and time again. At one point, he acquired what would become his greatest known weapon: the Infinity Gauntlet, a device that, with the six Infinity Stones in tow, allowed him to wreak havoc throughout the cosmos and bend the universe to his will, once even wiping out half of all life in the universe to appease Death. Though he would often be thwarted by Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Thanos will stop at nothing to win over Lady Death's love.
